There are tons of rules, many I don't even know and I am a pitcher. I have been called on these:
The play is over only when the pitcher has the ball on the mound in the circle.
You cannot start a pitch then stop.
You cannot throw the ball into your glove when on the mound, some umpires believe this looks like you are trying to pitch.
You cannot alter the ball in any way- this includes rubbing it in the dirt.
You cannot start your pitch in front of the rubber.
When a batter is hit with the pitch, he/she automatically gets to go to first.
George Hancock developed and published the standard rules for softball in 1889. He invented the game in 1887, and the first softball game was indoors.
The game of softball was invented in Chicago in 1887 by George Hancock. The idea for the ball came from an old boxing glove.
In 18 U Gold softball and collegiate softball, the distance from the plate to the pitching mound is 43 feet. This is because the pitchers at these levels throw much faster than the pitchers in the lower levels. In high school at 14U - 18U the pitching distance is 40 feet. Notice there is a difference between 18U and 18U Gold level.
MLB Rules state the pitching rubber will be at a height of 10 inches.

because of the kinetic energy ( the energy of motion) in hitting, pitching, running, and fielding.!! SOFTBALL RULES!!!

what is the Illinois high school softball pitching distance
It all depends. Baseball and softball pitching mechanics are way different.
what is the pitching distance for ten and under softball?
Much like baseball pitching, softball pitching is used to throw a ball towards the batter. In baseball they throw overhand but in softball when your pitching you wind up, load, and throw underhand. There are more pitches possible in the softball pitching than baseball. All pitched possible to be thrown by a softball pitcher are screw ball, change-up, fastball, curve ball, rise ball, drop ball, and knuckle ball.
